Feeling its oats


The Canada geese were feeding alongside the trail when I met them this morning.  The juvenile on the right is the single offspring of one of the pair, and the first to hatch.  As you can see, its wing feathers are beginning to grow in, as are its tail feathers.  It's amazing how quickly the young grow into gangly adolescents.
